Radishes 
One package of seed will sow 15 feet of row; 1 ounce, 60 feet. 
This is another vegetable that loses about half its flavor if not eaten within a 
very short time after it is taken from the ground. Radishes wilt like flowers and 
other vegetables, and lose their fresh crispness and juicy, delicate flavor. 
You 
cannot know how really good Radishes are if you haven’t gone out in the garden 
in the early morning and pulled a few for your breakfast. 
For forcing, sow in hotbed or under glass in rich, sandy loam. Scatter 50 to 
100 seeds to the foot and cover with one-fourth inch of soil sifted on. 
Sow in 
garden, as early as possible, in rows about 1 foot apart and thin to prevent crowding. A good 
dressing of nitrate of soda will greatly help their growth and make them tender and crisp. Suc- 
cessive sowings every week or ten days will keep your table well supplied the entire season.

served, without further dressing, when they

ATTENTION, COMMERCIAL RADISH 
GROWERS! 
Our strains of Scarlet Globe and Icicle Radish 
are giving complete satisfaction under glass as 
well as in the field. 
The European war has caused a shortage of 
seed of many vegetables in this country. This 
no doubt will continue for several years. Prices 
of vegetables must increase considerably. We 
urge you to have a vegetable garden this year. 
It’s good economy.
